A note on this day
On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was killed while doing the thing he had done thousands of times: standing in front of a crowd and taking their questions. One year on, the grief has not gone anywhere. Neither has the work.
Today, across the country
THE ROOM HE FILLED IS STILL FULL.
“PROVE ME WRONG.”

Watching his old debate clips with my students today. He still makes them think before they speak. #Kirkiversary

Our chapter is holding a moment of silence at noon, then we're doing what he'd actually want — we're taking questions. #Kirkiversary

First time I ever disagreed with someone out loud in public was at one of his tables. Changed my whole life. #Kirkiversary

The wall turns over every 5 seconds. These cards are stand-in tributes — pulling real posts and their photos needs approved developer access from X, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, so every link here opens the live hashtag on that platform instead.
Carry it forward
